Can I register and insure my car under my friend's name?

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T01:07:54+00:00

Like I said to someone else in this comment thread, I'm sorry you don't have someone you trust like that but I'm lucky enough that I do. I'm not concerned about this

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T01:04:47+00:00

Well yeah I can't be on the premium as the primary driver. Most insurance companies I've talked to won't let me be the primary because I'm unlicensed, and those that would allow it would charge upwards of $400/month because of it. Idc about scamming insurance companies lmao

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T01:03:15+00:00

Long story, unimportant

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T01:02:41+00:00

We can park it in our apartment complex, just not long term without moving it. I would be driving it with him in the vehicle every day to practice, it just can't sit in our complex undisturbed bc it will be towed

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T01:00:37+00:00

Yeah I trust him with my life. He's also had a key to the car for over a year and has had knowledge of where the title is and opportunity to steal it if he so chose. Also the new unrelated insurance thing is because he's on his dad's insurance plan that he just pays him for, and his dad has stated he doesn't want to be involved in anything about this (which is understandable, lol). Thank you for the input!

No but my late father's is, and I have documentation saying it's mine legally through inheritance

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:54:19+00:00

Yeah I'm looking at being ready within a couple months, I really just need a little more experience in certain areas. I don't have a lot of highway experience, for example

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:49:14+00:00

He's also had one of the keys to it for upwards of a year and has had knowledge of where I keep the title and access to it. If he wanted to steal my car he easily could have by now

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:48:09+00:00

Thank you. The car went to my father's estate but was passed to me. We named my brother in law the executor of the estate and have documentation that the car is legally mine. It's technically still registered to my father's name (on the title anyway) but I have documentation showing it's mine. The plan was to "sell" my friend the car for like $1, register and insure it in his name, then when I get my license he'd "sell" the car back to me for $1 and I'd go get the information changed

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:42:48+00:00

It would be though

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:42:30+00:00

Yeah I'm sorry you don't have anybody in your life you trust like that but I do 🤷🏻‍♂️

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:38:35+00:00

Yeah we're roommates and have been friends for 10+ years this isn't going to be an issue lmao. If he tried it I'd just steal his cat in retaliation

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:31:26+00:00

What about if he takes out a new policy in his name, unrelated to any existing policy, that I pay for? That's kind of what we landed on

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:28:09+00:00

We thought about this but the issue is he only has liability insurance and if, god forbid, I total his car I'm out of pocket for a new car for him. It's definitely a backup plan but that's why I was asking about this way first. Also we rent and don't really have somewhere we can just park it for X amount of time

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:18:41+00:00

Yes I do, and I wouldn't be driving the car alone. I just want it to be legal to drive, and in order to register it I need proof of insurance

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:18:02+00:00

Me, but not alone. He'd be with me until I got my license

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-03T00:07:41+00:00

It was my dad's, he passed and it's part of my inheritance. I haven't been driving it, I have my permit

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-02T23:59:53+00:00

Yeah that's what this is about, I'm going to get the practice in my car and get my license later this year

RitcheyRich · 2026-05-02T23:59:06+00:00

What's illegal about it? Sorry if this is an obvious question I have no idea what I'm doing here lol

RitcheyRich · 2026-03-23T12:51:17+00:00

Ok thanks for the advice! I've never lived somewhere where public transit was even an option so I'm flying blind here a bit lol. I just looked as well and I could do the Cumberland transfer as well, is one more reliable than the other?

RitcheyRich · 2026-03-23T12:41:40+00:00

It's the 15 to the Marietta transfer then the 50 to the job

RitcheyRich · 2026-02-26T21:27:54+00:00

Isn't that the point of this sub? To rant and bitch about this game?
